Brian Hayes (Fine Gael)

I fully support Senator Quinn. In addition, one of the objectives of the legislation is to tidy the existing Statute Book. The real problem for practitioners is that the Government has not yet published a revised Statute Book despite its intention to do so. Will the Minister for State include in his reply details on the current timeframe for publication of a revised Statute Book? It is of huge importance to practitioners. In a previous amendment I tabled, which was not accepted, I proposed that a set of revised statutes would be published by the Minister and his Department at three-year intervals. It was ruled out of order on the basis of cost.
